Sugar has shown to have an effect on the brain similar to that of an addictive drug & In fact, quickly removing it from your diet can cause withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, depression, headaches and muscle aches. No wonder it isn't easy to quit. Not easy, but not impossible either! Let's see what might possibly lead you to have these sugar cravings;

1 One of protein's most critical functions is keeping your blood sugar steady-which means if you're lacking, your glucose levels will be all over the place, encouraging you to reach for a quick fix like candy.

2 when your body ingests sugar, your blood sugar spikes and your body releases insulin to lower it to a safer level. If the insulin brings your blood sugar level a bit too low, as often happens, your body craves foods that will raise it and increase your energy.

3 Deficiencies in certain minerals such as zinc, chromium, iron, calcium, and magnesium may lead to sugar cravings.

4 When you don't eat enough calories, your body starts looking for fast fuel as a way to catch up. So what happens? You crave sugar! Because it provides you with a false sense of energy.

5 Candida is a yeast that consumes the sugar we provide it with and then demands more and more and more!

6 Poor sleep can trigger excess eating - including increased sugar consumption, as you seek energy to combat your fatigue. Combine that with stress & you won't stop consuming sugar!

If your sugar intake has become too extreme, please consult a physician.
